Sexual Assault

Pepperdine is a Christian University committed to the highest standards of academic
excellence and Christian values. One of these values is the recognition that every
person is created in the image of God and therefore should be treated with dignity
and respect. Sexual assault in all forms violates the sanctity of the human body and
spirit and will not be tolerated within our community.

Sexual assault is a violation of the University's standard of conduct for students,
as well as a violation of the law, and yet, sadly, we know that Pepperdine is not
exempt from having some of its students victimized in this way.

In addition to sexual assault, Pepperdine takes forms of sexual misconduct seriously
and supports students coming forward who have been victims of domestic violence, stalking,
dating violence, sexual discrimination, sexual harassment. A list of the university's
policies around these issues can be found by clicking here. Please explore the resources here, and please, please call for additional help.
